The Advanced Cooperative Arctic Data & Information Service (ACADIS) manages data and is the gateway for all relevant Arctic physical, life, and social science data for the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Polar Programs (OPP) Division of Arctic Sciences (ARC) research community.
ACADIS is the destination for data collected by over 650 currently active NSF-funded Arctic research projects. This includes Arctic Observing Network (AON), Arctic Natural Sciences (ANS), Arctic System Sciences (ARCSS), and the Arctic Social Sciences Program (ASSP) projects with others.

Services
NSF proposals are now required to include a data management plan. For this reason, ACADIS has developed a Data Management Plan (DMP) Template to help researchers meet NSF requirements, including those for metadata and documentation.
Principal Investigators (PIs) can count on ACADIS for support in the development of effective data management strategies. ACADIS also provides tools necessary for data reformatting and for metadata and data submission to the Gateway. Access and preservation of all NSF/ARC data are made possible through the ACADIS Gateway (aoncadis.org). The ACADIS Data Advisory Committee (ADAC) provides advice to data managers and delivers requests and recommendations on strategies to more effectively serve the Arctic and the larger science communities. ACADIS provides data management support to a diverse group of Arctic researchers and helps ensure the legacy of valuable data.
Contact ACADIS Support staff (support@aoncadis.org) with any questions regarding our services.
